Parliament Ethics Committee's line of questioning to Mahua Moitra
"The person insisted on asking the most cheap sordid questions about my personal life including who do you talk to at night? How many times? Can you give me those call details? Have you been in a hotel with your ex? Have you stayed there? Where have you been in the last five years? Then he says, so and so your dear friend, does his wife know about this? "
"He was warned repeatedly. Only the chairperson was questioning, the rest of the BJP members were fine. The 5 MPs of the opposition protested vigorously and said you can't do this. They said that a Chairperson cannot humiliate a person. He said no I can do what I like. It continued, I told him many times, that I may be a witness but I am a citizen of India which has guaranteed my privacy. Second I am an MP. You can ask me anything about the inquiry, I will answer all questions. On the NIC questions, I will answer questions, on the supposed gifts I will answer the questions..."
